Colorado Rural Health Center

A donation to the Colorado Rural Health Center supports the healthcare professionals who work hard every day to make comprehensive, affordable, high quality healthcare accessible to the rural residents and visitors to our state. An investment in the work of CRHC is an investment into the economies of rural Colorado.

This year, we're adding something special to our end-of-year fundraising campaign: a signed Denver Nuggets from the 2026-2027 team. For every $50 you donate, you'll get one entry into the raffle. Once you've made your donation, you can earn additional entries by sharing this campaign on social media and tagging us (one entry per platform). 

Your support helps CRHC provide rural healthcare organizations with the education, resources, connections and advocacy they need to continue serving their communities.

Join us in supporting rural healthcare and enter to win a piece of Colorado sports history!

Mission

Our mission is to enhance healthcare services in the state by providing information, education, linkages, tools, and energy toward addressing rural health issues. Our vision is to improve healthcare services available in rural communities to ensure that all rural Coloradans have access to comprehensive, affordable, high quality healthcare.

Background Statement

Created in 1991, the Colorado Rural Health Center (CRHC) serves as the Colorado State Office of Rural Health. Every state operates an Office of Rural Health, and CRHC is one of only three in the country that is structured as a non-profit organization. It was formed by a group of organizations and legislators to identify and address rural health needs. CRHC started with one employee, one grant from the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy and a budget of $38,000. The staff has grown to 22 employees with an annual operating budget of over $3 million. In spite of our growth, our vision has always remained the same, to improve healthcare services in rural communities and to ensure that all Coloradans have access to comprehensive, affordable, high quality healthcare.

CRHC has a strong reputation statewide and nationally as an innovative leader in addressing rural healthcare issues. CRHC partners with many well-respected organizations at a federal, state and local level to raise funds to support programs that address both general and specific healthcare issues in rural Colorado.
